  • Watching GE the other day, i'm starting to feel there are problems with this film. I can't put my finger on it but it feels like someone else's idea of a Bond film. Also not sure about Brosnan in this. Some scenes he's very good but others he jus…

  • I'd never noticed this 'piss filter' until it was brought up. And to be honest i can't see what all the fuss is about.
  • The Meg Was after watching something brainless but entertaning. It delivered with the brainless part. God knows how much WB spent on this drek and to release it in cinemas? Have they no shame?!!! With not an original bone in it's body this re…

  • Sicario: Day Of The Soldado Really surprisingly good follow up to the masterful original. A tense action packed affair that is paced supremely well, with some good twists and turns along the way. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro are dependably…

  • A View To A Kill is my final film of my Moore bondathon. And it's been hugely enjoyable revisiting his Bond tenure over the last few days. Moore was a great Bond and did it his way. He played it lighter most of the time but could also play it seriou…
  • And on to Octopussy in my Moore Bondathon. Yet again this is slick entertainment and an epic Bond adventure. Featuring an alarmingly horrible plan from the villains. The PTS is just genius, completely unrelated to the film's plot. Amazing stun…

  • Continuing my Moore bondathon, TSWLM was up tonight and this is big Bond entertainment. OK, so it's basically a remake of YOLT but I do enjoy it a lot. I must admit I prefer the second half of the film with the spectacular Liparus climax being t…
  • Interesting choice. Seems to be an intelligent director. Really looking forward to it now. :)
